from the fibre of mulberry bark this is their onlv garment there is no distinction between the dress of males and females except in the manner of tyingthe bow or tie-knot to hang loosely in front of their bodies and the females are care ful to have the bow swinging grace fully at their sides they are so clean and careful in every way that it does not take a european long to become accustomed to the sight of their attire the men keep their skins so well oiled that they present a fine appearance they tattoo a little but not in a pro fuse and grotesque manner they do not believe in mutilating their faces with rings through their noses and lips but have a pride in the personal beauty of the face the s imoans are strong in upholding caste but once a noble does not mean always a noble loss of
